The SICK GL6G-P1212 is a cutting-edge photoelectric retro-reflective sensor engineered for precision and reliability in modern industrial automation. This dual-lens sensor leverages a PinPoint LED light source with a wavelength of 650 nm, delivering a focused light spot of Ø 8 mm at 350 mm distance. With a maximum sensing range of 6 m (5 m typical), it excels in detecting transparent objects such as glass and plastic films, making it indispensable for packaging, beverage, and material handling lines. The sensor features a PNP switching output with selectable light/dark switching modes, ensuring flexibility in diverse control systems. Its robust plastic housing (ABS/PC) with IP67 rating withstands dust and water ingress, while the integrated polarization filter enhances performance on reflective targets. Supplied with a stainless steel mounting bracket (BEF-W100-A) and reflector P250, the GL6G-P1212 is a turnkey solution for demanding tasks. Backed by UL certification (NRKH.E348498), it operates reliably from –25°C to +55°C, with a storage range of –40°C to +70°C.
